## Summary

The procurement process relates to the provision of locum practitioners and healthcare scientific support workers, initiated by Public Health England, located in London. The contract is classified under supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, and has a total value of £719,583. This contract was formally awarded on 1st December 2019 and is complete as of 31st March 2021. The procurement method employed was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, owing to the urgent nature of the requirements arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in healthcare staffing and services, particularly those with experience in emergency response scenarios. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-placed to compete, especially those capable of providing temporary staffing solutions to public health sectors. Given the current focus on healthcare, businesses that can quickly mobilise locum workers or scientific support practitioners are likely to find a receptive market in the aftermath of the pandemic response.
